Learn the game, stay for the adventure....Come meet the Danbury Library’s Dungeon Master, and help him in creating a world that you, the player, can interact with. Players go on adventures while working together to complete quests, slay monsters, and achieve their own personal goals. Dungeons and Dragons is a pen and paper RPG (Role Playing Game). The game uses a series of dice to help gauge how successful characters and monsters are at achieving their various goals. The game doesn’t require anything other than a few books, paper and pencils, some dice and your imagination.The Dungeon Master uses evocative descriptions to make the game come alive; and players then decide their characters’ actions. The possibilities are endless! New Players Are WELCOME!

Did you hear the one about the encyclopedia salesman's son? Neither did we until we met Andrew Kennedy.

Kennedy has performed on Comedy Central, Bravo, Gotham Comedy Club, The Montreal Comedy Festival, Lincoln Center, and the list goes on and on. CBS made a TV pilot based on his life and his Comedy Central special ranks as one of the network’s all-time best!
Kennedy’s mother is Colombian and father is English. By the time he was 13 he’d lived in Colombia, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Hong Kong, and New Canaan. His background may sound more interesting than funny, BUT once you hear him on stage you can’t help but laugh at his hysterical commentary on family and society.

Opening the show will be Motts Pelazza! Motts has been performing in comedy clubs and theatres throughout the country for over 35 years. Motts was a finalist in New England’s Funniest Comic Competition. He’s performed at Caroline’s, Catch a Rising Star, Don’t Tell Mama in NYC, as well as The Big Stinkin Improv Festival in Austin, TX. Motts has opened for Kevin Meaney, Rich Vos, Gilbert Gottfried, and Kevin Nealon.
